Chapter 246 The Governors of the Two Provinces

Li Daiwen was dressed in thick burlap and dressed up as an old man. Moreover, he was a poor old man in a down-and-out manner. Diao Geng and the others were shocked. Is this man the governors of two provinces?

Then, he saw Jin Feiying and the others coming over and helped Li Daiwen down from the donkey cart with respect.

Only then did everyone realize that Li Dawen was not only a bad old man, but also a bad old man with difficulty in movement. He slowly got off the donkey cart and walked over carefully step by step with the help of everyone.

So much so that his actions made the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture forget to say hello. Even the prefect Diao Geng forgot to give the meeting ceremony.

But Li Dawen spoke first, and bowed to Diao Geng: "I guess this is the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, Lord Diao Geng, I am Li Dawen."

After a while, until Yao Bin next to him was so rude that Diao Geng woke up like a dream and hurriedly replied: "Li, Governor Li, you, you, this is..."

He didn't say the following words, and the meaning was very obvious. After all, you are a dignified governor. Not to mention your shabby outfit, you are actually riding a donkey cart. Isn't this a shameful face to the court? Since you represent the court to provide disaster relief, how can you dress up like this? What about your carriage, your official uniform, and your entourage guards?

A series of questions made Diao Geng speechless, and he didn't know where to start.

Li Daiwen seemed to see his question, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. I just came back from the disaster area and my legs are inconvenient, so I had to hire a donkey cart to count."

Everyone was surprised, and Yao Bin next to him finally couldn't bear it: "Governor Li, you, your official uniform and your entourage, you came alone along the way. How dangerous it is. What should you do if you encounter a bad person?"

Nominal concern is actually a sarcasm. Could it be that you, Li Daiwen, deliberately dressed up so down for the sake of the so-called false reputation? No, you are obviously losing the face of the court. How can you convince the public by the dignified governor of the two provinces dress up like this poor look? Wouldn't it disappoint the people?

Li Dawen was still feeling like a spring breeze, but he did not answer his inquiry: "Who said I am alone? Isn't this still bringing this entourage? Besides, the world is bright and bright, and if I don't provoke others, there will be no evil people coming to harm me."

Diao Geng and others looked at each other, and everyone's faces were filled with disappointment. This was different from what they imagined. When the governor went on a trip, he was not allowed to guard the officers and soldiers, and he sounded the gongs and opened the way. He was wearing gorgeous clothes. Can passers-by avoid it?

Not to mention anything else, even the prefect Diao Geng had to show a huge show when he was traveling. The soldiers were guarding both sides, and in front of him were officials holding a quiet and avoiding sign, and then they beat the gong alone to remind the people that the prefect was on a patrol.

At this time, the people trembled and automatically made way. Then they gathered together and looked at the prefect in front of them, sitting in a sedan chair or a carriage, showing off their power on the street.

On the one hand, it also represents the face of the court. Let the world develop a sense of awe of the court and the government.

As for Li Huiwen, the dignified governors of the two provinces have mixed this virtue. If you go out, wouldn’t it make people laugh? Who will be afraid of you in the prefectures and counties in those places?

Li Daiwen said nothing, and the servant next to him couldn't help it: "My adult gave the official uniform to a commoner who was slapped, and the carriage was also given to a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, and asked her to take a carriage to the clinic for treatment. As for the followers, they were all in various places to provide disaster relief. Our adults, from Henan to Shanxi, were all pulled by villains with this donkey carriage. If it weren't for the inconvenience of legs and feet of my family, they would have given this donkey carriage to the victims long ago!"

The servant's tone was a little angry. You were so sad that you were so sad. Along the way, they saw so many misfortunes and how many wives and children had separated.

More than once, Li Tiewen looked at these innocent victims and cried. His body was weak and he stayed in the land of Henan and Shanxi in the last time of his life. Li Tiewen was suffering from wilt and still worked hard to travel around the world. If he hadn't been sick, he would have given this donkey cart to those victims in need.

As soon as this statement was spoken, Diao Geng and others were stunned. They never expected that there would be such officials in an era like the Ming Dynasty today.

The honest official Hai Rui during the Jiajing period was one of the honest officials who went down in history in the Ming Dynasty. Like Li Huiwen, he was simply the contemporary Hai Rui.

The officials of Taiyuan Prefecture immediately changed from the original contempt to respect. Their governor, Lord Li, of the two provinces, was a respectable person and a worthy follower.

Even Diao Geng, who wanted to make a fortune after becoming the prefect, couldn't help but be moved. He personally went to support Li Wei and asked, "Governor Li, it's really shameless to have no control of Taiyuan Prefecture. Now Governor Li comes to provide disaster relief in person, but he has the order. All officials from all over the Taiyuan Prefecture, all follow the orders of the Governor."

This sentence is Diao Geng's heartfelt words. If you don't say anything else, just saying that he didn't manage Taiyuan Prefecture well, he was a little self-aware. Li Daiwen struggled every step, but he was still strong. This skinny old man, who seemed to be able to blow down at any time, had a thin shoulders that carried the heavy burden of the Ming Dynasty.

The disasters in Shanxi and Henan have always been the heart of Emperor Chongzhen. In addition to worrying about the people of these two provinces, he is even more afraid of the rebellion of bandits.

The disaster area has always been the best soil for bandits to survive. Once bandits raise their arms in the disaster area, those victims who cannot survive often gather. If the disaster situation in Shanxi and Henan is left alone, once there are disaster victims causing trouble, they will spread rapidly like sparks.

The officers and soldiers cleared out the bandits not only fought with each other, but also spent a huge amount of money on the people and money. Moreover, the people who cleared out the bandits were also suppressed.

If the disaster situation in these two provinces can be solved, the bandits will have no soil for chaos. Zhu Cixuan heard that it was a disaster relief, and gave all the military pay that originally belonged to the rectification of the three camps to Li Yiwen. He hoped that Li Yiwen could control the disaster situation in these two provinces.

Li Weiwen did not disappoint his high expectations, at least the disaster in Henan will no longer spread. The disaster relief money and food in some severely affected areas in Shanxi have also arrived, except for the Taiyuan Prefecture, which has a relatively mild disaster. This time, Li Weiwen came here in person to finally resolve the disaster victims in Taiyuan Prefecture. In this way, his task was completed.

Diao Geng's cooperation surprised Li Daiwen, and then he was very pleased: "Okay, Lord Diao, I will inevitably call the people from the government office. But have your household registration been sorted out?"
